Producer / Mixer / Songwriter

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

A: I’m especially proud of working on the short film 'My Style Is…', directed by Matt Vega. I was the music producer and composer, creating a soundtrack that spans multiple genres — from vintage ’50s and classical to electronic, rock, ambient, waltz, and experimental. It was exciting to shape the film’s emotions across such diverse styles and really push my creative limits.

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: Currently I’m producing songs for Hong Kong and China artists, while also exploring my own experimental ambient music, blending digital and analog gear to push sonic boundaries.

Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?

A: No, I don't know anyone on Soundbetter.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: Analog or digital? It really depends on the project. Analog has that raw, warm character I love — but digital gives me much broader boundaries to experiment and push ideas further. I’m not tied to one — I use whatever makes the music hit hardest.

Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A: Most customers ask about the time required and the price. My answer is that it really depends on the complexity of the project. That’s why it’s best to be open about the vision and expectations, the clearer the idea, the more accurate the timeline and cost will be.

Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

A: Many people think my job is just me working alone, but so much of it is actually about communication and collaboration to really understand someone’s vision.

Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A: I’d recommend being completely open about your ideas and vision from the start. The more honestly we can talk about what you want, the better I can understand it and create something that truly matches your expectations.

Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

A: I’d really love to work with Damon Albarn. His music has had such a big impact on me, and I’m inspired by how he constantly experiments and evolves. I feel like creating something with him would be truly meaningful and unforgettable.
